The forecast log

Historical cases work because their outcomes resolved. Live judgment has to earn the same honesty the hard way: a resolvable question, a committed probability, a deadline that calls you back, and a score you cannot argue with. Nothing pays out at commit; the grade arrives with the resolution.

Open questions

Commit a probability before the deadline. Updates are allowed and logged; the final call is what gets scored.
